  <description><![CDATA[ The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is issuing this interim rule 
amending the regulations that specify interest rates on guaranteed farm 
loans. This rule will tie the maximum interest rate that may be charged 
on FSA guaranteed farm loans to nationally published indices, 
specifically the 3month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the 
5year Treasury note rate, unless the lender uses a formal written 
riskbased pricing practice for loans, in which case the rate must be 
at least one risk tier lower than the borrower would receive without 
the guarantee. These provisions are intended to increase clarity and 
specificity in the maximum rate requirements, while at the same time 
setting rates that will work in current credit market conditions.

  <description><![CDATA[ The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is modifying Operating Loan (OL) 
application, eligibility, and security requirements for Microloans (ML) 
to better serve the unique operating needs of small family farm 
operations. The intended effect of this rule is to make the OL Program 
more widely available and attractive to small operators through reduced 
application requirements, more timely application processing, and added 
flexibility in meeting the managerial ability eligibility requirement. 
FSA is also removing provisions for the low documentation (LoDoc) 
application process for OLs from the existing direct loan regulations.
